The Inspiration behind Ercol Originals

The ercol Originals are pieces of timeless and classic design that never date or show their age.

It is furniture that is as relevant and as functional now as it was when it was created in the 1950s and 1960s.

This furniture was designed by ercol’s founder, Lucian Ercolani, who drew for his inspiration on the time proven

local design and craft in the Chiltern Hills around where he lived and built his first factory in 1920 in High Wycombe.

Some of these pieces have never been out of production since their introduction nearly 60 years ago.

Other favourite pieces we have brought back into production – in 2002, ercol began a successful collaboration with

the fashion designer Margaret Howell and reissued a selection of archetypal ercol pieces from our back catalogue,

based on the classic Windsor chair.Starting with the Butterfly and Stacking Chair,

this selection has grown into the Originals collection of today.

These pieces are as appropriate to today’s living as they were when they were originally issued
